Count to Ten Lyrics

There are faces, there are smiles,
so many teeth, to many arms, and legs
and eyes and flashing buttons all around me
I'm a watching, I'm a breathing,
I'm a pushing, I'm a wishing that these walls would not be talking quiet so loudly
I have burnt down once before, I've pulled myself up from the floor
And I am looking for a reason to stay standing
But sometimes it's just too much,
it's not enough,
it's something else,
it's so much bigger than my head,
it's too demanding
Sometimes the fastest way to get there is to go slow,
and sometimes if you wanna hold on you've got to let go

I'm gonna close my eyes,
and count to ten
I'm gonna close my eyes,
and when I open them again, everything will make sense to me then
I have met so many people,
we've exchanged so many words,
we've said it all, we've said nothing
but it's changed us
I have known a lot of men,
some were lovers, some were friends;
but all together were they nearly passing strangers?
They'll control you with their silence,
they'll control you with their words,
and you'll control them with your body's coded signals
In the wild, tangled gardens of our insecurities,
we lose our heads into each others sudden pitfalls
Sometimes the fastest way to get there is to go slow,
and sometimes if you wanna hold on you've got to let go
I'm gonna close my eyes,
and count to ten
I'm gonna close my eyes,
and when I open them again, everything will make sense to me then
Sometimes the fastest way to get there is to go slow,
yeah and sometimes if you wanna hold on you have to let go
(counting up to 10)
I'm gonna close my eyes,
and count to ten
I'm gonna close my eyes,
and when I open them again, everything will make sense to me then
